The infirmary was in an uproar as everyone jostled about in absolute somberness following the news of the visitation of the Alpha.
Everyone was on their best behavior as had been instructed by the head of the infirmary Theodore. He had called them shortly after Mr. Berkley had instructed Sam to clean one of the rooms of the wards.The rule was simple to make sure the nurses and Doctors had the place running properly… No speck. No dust.Everyone had been surprised to see Dr. Theodore coming to the hospital after a long week He hardly comes to the infirmary. This meant that this was very important and no one wanted to be a scapegoat.Sam who just finished scrubbing the ward she had been assigned to, was rushing out of the packing store where she dropped the cleaning equipment when she nearly collided with someone.She quickly righted herself and staggered back, “I am sorry Sir,” cried Sam, smoothing her hand on her gown. She looked up subtly and flinched back in apprehension as her eyes met with that of Dr. Theodore’s.“Who are you?” he asked in a clipped tone.“I…I…”“That’s our new assistant, Dr. Theodore,” provided Mrs. Berkeley, appearing instantly beside Sam. “She came in this morning and I was waiting to introduce her later. She would be helping with the pups and the aged pack members,”Sam looked down at her hands as she noticed the unwavering scrutiny of the haughty-looking man.“I see, bring her to my office for proper documentation once the Alpha leaves. That is if he comes,” he mumbled the last line, his eyes still pinned at Sam, before walking away.“What were you thinking falling into his path?” Mrs. Berkley addressed Sam once he was out of earshot.“I…I…I”“Just get to work. Do something. Anything. He doesn’t like seeing people running about idle,” Mrs. Berkley said referring to Dr. Theodore.Sam nodded and scurried away wondering what she should do next.After lurking around the halls for the umpteenth time, Sam eventually located the children’s room and went in to help one of the hands there.They all gaped at her as she walked in, obviously not familiar with her. She cringed within brow beating herself for coming in here in the first place. Since morning, she has been engaging in other things all in a bid to avoid here. Now she has finally made it here.“Hi,” she waved at one of the girls as she drew near.“Hi, you are new here?” the girl asked picking one of the pups in her arms.Sam’s eyes followed the movement with uttermost amusement. “Yes, I just came in this morning.”“Oh, when did you come into the pack,”“I…I am the Al_”“What are you two doing?” Mrs. Berkeley materialized from nowhere disrupting their chat. “Sam, follow immediately “ she was, out as she had come inSam exhaled loudly, smacking her head in worry as she followed the woman after giving the girl a poor pathetic smile for almost getting her in trouble. She didn’t even get to know her name. She fretted.“You will have to attend to Mrs. Carpenter as she woke up and wouldn’t stop causing a fiasco. She always does that when she needs attention. So go and keep her busy Anyhow you can do that. Thanks.” She waved off Sam and sauntered off hurriedly“Dear, Gad. Why does that cold of a man have to visit today of all days? He should have just let me settle in first before already working to plunge me into misery,” she complained as walked towards the ward she has just scrubbed a few minutes ago.As she made to corner the ward, she ran smack into a hard chest. A hand reached out and tipped her away, and her eyes widened when they met that of Dr. Theodore once more.“What are you going here?” he asked her, seemingly irritated.“I was going to one of the patient’s wards. I’m sorry for running into you,” she shook her hand at him and made to escape.“Stop!” he hollered, and Sam slowly twisted about to face him. “You can go,” he said through tight lips, his fist balling by his side.Sam didn’t need another order before disappearing into the patient’s ward.A few minutes later.The door to the ward’s room swung open. “The Alpha is here and he asked to see you,” came the voice of Mrs. Berkeley. She sounded agitated.“Me?” Sam asked equally flustered.“Yea, for some reasons beyond me, he said he wanted to see the newest person in the facility. He was so intent on knowing what you have been doing since you came here,”Sam smiled nodded and looked at Mrs. Carpenter, the aged woman who she has managed to quell down her at tantrums. The latter was already feeling drowsy, so she bent to kiss her brow and followed Mrs. Berkeley out.Her hands kept smoothing on her gown as they walked down the hall.Panning out, she was amazed at the number of people she saw standing at the reception listening to someone. Someone who stopped talking the moment he noticed her.Sam’s face fell to the ground, fear gripping her as she thought of the worst thing he could do to her in front of these people. None of them knew her true identity, not that they had asked anyways apart from the girl she met at the nursery.Would he declare her his slave before them and made them suffer her? She thought in trepidation.Her movement became rigid as she neared him. She also noticed his eyes were very intent on hers as if every other person in the facility stopped existing the second she entered.Standing in front of him, she slowly raised her eyes to meet his, they were bearing his signature scowl. No hint of a smile. His fist was knotted by his side as his brows creased in outward rage.“What was she doing in there?” he asked Mrs. Berkeley in a hardened voice his eyes not leaving hers.Mrs. Berkeley rushed forward, “She was attending to a patient, Alpha, in one of the wards,”He growled, his eyes diverting from Sam to meet Mrs. Berkeley who instantly blanched in fear. “When did she become a Doctor?”Mrs. Berkeley made to say something but at the lifting of his fingers, she abruptly shut her mouth, her eyes finding her feet. He faced Dr. Theodore with a profound furious visage, “She is a slave. And slaves work hard. She was brought here to do the menial work as the Omega slave she is. Make that happen. The next time I come here, I should meet her scrubbing the ground, with sweats falling down her face, showing she is working hard enough, than doing some damn doctor duties! Or,” the threat in his eyes could be read without the use of spectacles.“You know very well what I’m capable of,” with that, he whirled around and stormed out of the infirmary, leaving Sam standing there as hot tears pooled at her eyes and tumbled down her face as reality hit on her. He was bent on destroying her. Her life just spiraled to a zero in front of her.Is this what it means to have your heart shattered? She grieved.Long after the Alpha left the infirmary, Sam had looked for a secluded place to cry her heart.Everything that took place and how the people had watched afterward flashed before her eyes.Now she was afraid that they would look at her like a slave rather than their equal. And she was supposed to be their Luna.She was in the infirmary bathroom still crying her out, when someone knocked.Her heart lurched and she worked to steady her ragged breathing as well as regain her emotional poise. She had come here for privacy. Why would they not just allow her a few minutes to herself?Don’t forget you are a slave. The thought flitted by.Unlatching the lock with quivering hands, Sam opened the door and looked out. “Hy,” she mewled. It was the girl she had met previously in the nursery. She stood there peering at Sam with something that Sam could discern as pity etched in her eyes.Realizing she was acting creepy, the girl stuttered on her feet and cleared her throat. “Are you crying?...” then
An hour later, after Sam had been poked and prodded into perfection for the Alpha, the girl who Sam later found out her name was Sonia, repeated the process of accompanying her to his door and this time there was no sound from her.“I forgot to tell you, he might not be inside by now. You will have to wait for him. Don’t touch anything,” the girl admonished in a soft voice.Sam rolled her eyes inside. It’s not like she is interested in any of this. She would just have to adhere to what he had said and wait for him naked on the bed_ no matter how humiliating the idea sounded.“Thanks, Sonia,” Sam expressed timidly and entered the room.She stood at the door and let her eyes wash over the room. It was very spacious as befitting an Alpha. This was supposed to be their dwelling place him and her. Not with some girl who from her outlook was a dignified busy body.But, he would rather share it with another woman than share it with her. She was good to be his slave and attend to him in the m
Sam's hand ran over her dress, smoothing it in place. She hoped the ground would open up and swallow her, and she hoped he didn't do something to her.“I'm-” Her wolf warned her just then, “I wouldn't do that if I were you! ” So she kept quiet, setting her hands back at her sides. She had not known she would fall asleep or that anyone would mind. She was merely a slave, and she shouldn't have eaten the food or tried on the dress, but she hadn't meant to!It was all just so wonderful and she was so hungry from such a stressful day, and oh, she had really done it this time. Her alpha stood in front of her, his eyes glowing a deep red. His cheeks were flushed and she regretted looking up at him so she looked back down, hoping he wouldn't notice that she had been staring at him.He let out a low growl that made her jump, and without meaning to, she took a step backwards. He came even closer to her, and she quickly ran past him and landed on the wineglass, shattering it into a milli
A few minutes into her reverie, she realized that they were all waiting for her to ask the million dollar question. So she did, eyes focused on the shiny black of her shoes.“W-w-where am I going to be?”Amal let his smile take over his entire face when he replied to her. “With me, of course. You're now my personal maid, at my beck and call.”They all forgot the rules and dropped items onto the floor while staring at him in shock. “What are you looking at?” he barked, “get to work!”The girls all separated and got to work. Sam quickly walked into his closet to set the dress on one of the hangers. He was hot on her heels, unbuttoning his shirt as he came in. Flushing a bright pink, she looked down at her feet walking so she could get past him quickly. Right before she passed him, he grabbed her arm and breathed in her ear.“I haven't forgotten your punishment, Omega.”Sam's face lost all of its color and she cleared her throat to stop the tears that threatened to come out. The
Amal's POV.Since he had found her in his bed earlier, he couldn't get enough of her scent. When she had run out of his room he immediately went to where her blood pooled on his carpet and sniffed at it, desperate for her scent. When that had proved futile, he remembered that she had laid in his bed and her body had been tangled in the soft cotton sheets. He ripped them off the corners of the mattress and bunched them up, letting his nostrils drag in her scent. He wanted to taste her. He wanted to bite her and have her scent all over him. She was heady, and had a nice scent he could go forever smelling. Soon enough, I remembered that she had eaten his food. And that her dishes were on the table outside. He stepped out and tested the rim of a glass. It still had a bit of orange juice and he could taste her on it.He loved her smell, and didn't catch himself until his wolf uttered something that was impossible by any means. Mine, it said. “No! ”he retorted, aware that he was figh
Sam did as he said and pulled her hair to the side for him. She was scared and she knew that she would be punished for all her shortcomings soon. With that thought in mind, she figured it would be in her best interest to do as he said, so things did not get any worse. When he stepped away from her, she caught her reflection in the mirror and saw that he had put a tag onto her neck. It looked like a thick black choker, but anyone who looked at it too long would notice that the crescent dangling from its center had his insignia on it. She was officially his property. He told her as soon as her fingers grazed her neck that she was his property. He informed her that as long as she had that on, she was his, and that she was to run every decision by him first. Her eyes started to pool with tears because she felt like cattle or livestock, an animal to be claimed. She tried to talk and her words failed her, tumbling around in her head and refusing to come out. He was still talking, and
The shower was one of the best 15 minutes of her life. While under it, she practiced how she would talk to the guests when they arrived. She was not a member of their pack and had come in as a reject from another, so she didn't want a situation whereby she spoke badly.She was worried that if there were any complaints, she would be banished completely from the pack, homeless again. She thought back to the abandoned house on the outskirts of town. She had lived there for months without being detected, and she hated how a small mistake like forgetting to put out her cooking fire had led to her discovery. She had made friends with a homeless dog, and she wondered how it was carrying on. She said a prayer to the moon goddess and thanked her for her kindness and her good luck so far. She rinsed out the shampoo suds from her hair and got to work taking a bath. She lathered the soap in her palms and then rubbed it onto her skin, watching the bubbles trail across her skin. After 10 mi
When they stepped out into the hallway, it was busy with activity. Lights had been strung all over the mansion's walls, and they gave the room a soft, orange glow, and Sam marveled at how beautiful the entire set-up looked. She knew she was supposed to be right behind Alpha Amal as he took his large strides, but she could not help it - she made a little twirl and looked down the banister at everyone down there. The mansion was the perfect picture of elegance. Wine glasses bubbled with the best wine, and the other members of staff stood by in their red dresses and suits, waiting for the party to fall into full swing.Of course by then, Alpha Amal had gone so far in the hallway that she had to run to meet up with him.She arrived just in time, and as she fell into stride with him, he turned to her and said, “before the party falls into full swing, I have to meet with my mother and father in my conference room. You are to come in as my secretary. ”Surprised, she turned to him to rem
